Basic components of the infrastructure are the nurse call system and emergency call terminal devices. By means of an emergency button, residents can easily ask for assistance to the nursing staff at any time.

Depending on the confi guration of the solution, the alarm recipient can acknowledge the alarm receipt either positively or negatively. If after a predefined time, the alarm recipient wasn’t achievable or a negative acknowledgement failed to occur, alternative people and/or representatives could be alarmed. The system also offers a time- and calendar-dependent information distribution, offering a customizable representation of availability lists and duty rosters. All alarms and procedures are logged and archived, thus allowing to the system to provide a complete documentation.

Of course, MobiCall is also suitable to connect anti-wandering systems in order to directly transfer alarms as well as technical faults. As a consequence, this solution minimises walking routes and stress for the staff members, while improving response times in case of emergency calls. This involves on one hand more chances to save a life, and on the other hand an enhancement of the residents’ well-being.
